Got an email: YouTube has the right to monetize all content on the platform and ads may appear on videos from channels not in the YouTube Partner Program. Is it only me, or feels like google is trying to increase revenue by squeezing more money from customers and days of innovations are long gone? What does keep folks there?

Beat me to it lol
We need a competitor for YouTube. They are a monopoly for 15 years already and they have realized their power and started squeezing money even harder. Never understood why why had so many Twitch clones, but yet to see a decent competitor for YouTube!

Their traffic is primarily mobile…
Youtube vanced!
Damm, a business is trying to optimize for money. Shocking.
Lool
I’m fine with business making money, but let’s call it a business, not “don’t do evil” fairytale. Not sure what is worse anymore - google or oracle.
Watch them ads!
They want you to buy YT premium by doing whatever it takes to nauseate you with ads.

Why Pronouns shit captured US ? I don’t see this anywhere else
The squeeze already started when they began forcing two ads instead of one before the video. But looks to be working!
Yes, that was the first sign. I realized that YouTube has more ads per minutes watched than a hated cable channel.
Wait, they're ads on YouTube? I guess ads block is working like a charm then
